yeah, I used a python gtk library a long time ago and it was pretty baffling, but I was able to do what I wanted to do, with some effort. It's really frustrating that there's this miasmatic layer floating over the very solid base that is GNU/Linux, of byzantine poorly documented libraries and APIs and shit. You, as a programming literate superuser, want to tweak the behavior of some GNOME app on your ubuntu system? good fucking luck it'll take you all week. Makes me start to understand the people that insist on "suckless" (I think I'm using that word right) software that is simple and flexible and customizable from the ground up, tiling window managers, systemd alternatives, etc.
I don't know if I'm fully on board with "no systemd, no traditional/consolidated dwm, etc." but I like the idea of being able to customize shit better than just "live with whatever you get or learn GTK/Vala/whatever" (or hack around the bad behavior on the CLI I guess)
in my experience that's likely. The lemmy UI produces some weird results like that, but the backend is solid. Like on profile pages, you don't see all comments and posts in chronological order, it seems to grab the most recent x number of comments and x number of posts, and makes a list from that, so usually it will be like "comment comment comment post comment comment post post post post post" with a glut of older posts at the end
I wish they didn't exist more than anything. I don't want to see them, I don't want to learn them and how to interpret and coax their garbled pronouncements, but if they actually become genuinely good at things like this that would be an acceptable outcome too. Its a shame they won't. Maybe they could do better than nothing though!
yeah, I have had one or two comment replies just disappear and not notify me, and I suppose that's just the ones I've gone back and noticed... There might be something going on here
this has also been my (limited) experience with dbus. Unusable for mere mortals (people who don't have extensive experience with it and don't have time to just read the source code and piece it together), by way of being almost completely undocumented.
It seems like a really useful thing that would be 5x better if it was more easily usable/documented
the little "two pages" copy button under a post. here's how it looks on desktop:
idk, this one doesn't seem that unhinged in the grand scheme of things. Like obviously the behavior was unacceptable, but I think its a position many pretty reasonable people could find themselves in.
I was thinking of people outside of lemmy entirely, but yah
Honestly its possible I was just thinking of the youtuber who taught a pug to do a nazi salute
This is like 1 or 2 steps removed from the "functional medicine" fuckheads that my mom was introduced to a year or two ago and is now pretty into. Thankfully she's not at the point of eating red meat and butter and eggs exclusively but there's some kooky stuff in there and the fact that you can find licensed doctors promoting every fucking variety of horrible misinfo makes my blood boil
Audacity is the actually FOSS answer, afaik. I've used it a lot, but not for music (much). It's not a DAW, but if it's just recording and stitching tracks together it will 100% work, and with some effort you can do fancier stuff.
There's also Ardour and Zrythm which are more real DAWs Ithink? but I know nothing about them. Maybe try ardour if you already know you don't want to do audacity
where did they even lose 20k+ vehicles to? Can't just be in transit right?
edit: I say 20k because its 20k MORE than the discrepancy last year at this time
edit 2: I did a little googling, seems like for the past year+ they're keeping production at full bore and just trying to incentivize more demand but it isn't there (for teslas, some other brands are garnering more interest). There are overflow lots within a few miles of most of their dealers, plus probably more elsewhere?
